Yes…The link above is very much like what I’m trying to do.
I’m sorry if I’m confusing the names of the different segments, I’ll figure them out, but yes, I want each city to have their own categories to post in.
So, if anyone has any advice on how to do that so that it doesn’t look like hell, I’d love to hear it.
My other idea was to do a separate install for each city so in my directory it would be ChicagoForum, NYForum ect. But, I don’t know if that’s even possible and if it is, how would users be able to post in other forums without having to re-register everytime.
You should know, I’m new to this. I’m learning, but re-writing too much code and messing too much with the database probably isn’t a good idea just yet.
Thanks for your help
Hi,
I want to make a forum or forums like this:
Chicago Forum
General Discussion
Jobs
For Sale
Housing
Another Topic
Another Topic
Another Topic
Another Topic
New York Forum
General Discussion
Jobs
For Sale
Housing
Another Topic
Another Topic
Another Topic
Another Topic
And do this for five or six cities.
How would I do this? I fear the thing will be too big and complicated.
If the answer has to do with multiple forum installations, what’s involved with that? And, I would like users to be able to post in any city without having to log in again and again.
Oh, I should mention that I’m just now learning code ect. I’m at the point where I can tinker with a file if I’m told exactly how to do it.
Any suggestions?
I just had a series of bogus users register to my small, friends-only forum. I would LOVE to see a plugin that allows me to approve users. 
Check your database content via phpmyadmin for a capabilities entry in wp_usermeta and, if it exists, delete it. Try the admin panel again.
No input file specified is a standard PHP error. Nothing to do with bb. From a quick google (I have no actual knowledge of this):
The basic issue was that PHP-as-CGI REALLY REALLY wants SCRIPT_FILENAME.
It ignores the command line. It ignores SCRIPT_NAME. It wants SCRIPT_FILENAME.
This very informative error message from PHP means that your web server, WHATEVER it is, is not setting SCRIPT_FILENAME.
What it does is resize it so that the larger dimension becomes 100px, and the smaller dimension becomes less than 100px proportionally.
hostpanic, yes, it is. But it’s not a feature of the plugin right now. However the image editing code is fairly straightforward so you may want to have a look at messing around with that yourself.
It’s not located at http://bluejavamug.com/bbpress/bb-admin/ ?
Are you sure all the folders and files made it up there on upload?
Do you have an .htaccess file that might be rewriting it in a bad way?
If you login as the keymaster, is there a link that says (Admin | Log out) after your name where Admin is a link to the admin panel?
Maybe you’re not logged in as the keymaster?
I thought it already did that?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/46
Admins can configure maximum allowed file size
(bytes) and dimensions (pixels) of images from
within the admin page (credit: Sam Bauers).
Images that exceed maximum dimensions are
automatically resized (and sharpened if truecolor
images).
Or are you asking for it to do something different than that?
Are you using mod_rewrite with slugs or pretty permalinks? What does this line in you config.php look like?
$bb->mod_rewrite = false; (could be true or slugs also)
Maybe mod_rewrite is not supported or your .htaccess is preventing rewriting somehow and that results in the 404 Not Found error?
What do the URLs look like that are resulting in this error?
You’ve got problems with your rewrite rules; wp assumes that it’s meant to be a wordpress page, can’t find it and therefore goes wrong. Not sure how to fix it, but I’m sure someone is.
No folders are actually created in making new forums, by the way. Your forums are being created, you just can’t access them right now.
BG: bbsync, avatar upload and some custom code. If you want some help doing it, just start a new topic.
There’s a bizarre flash for me while loading where the footer moves from next to the sidebar to underneath it all. Is that related?
The footer seems fine normally though, and has the clear: both; rule attached so I don’t see why it would be a problem?
hmmm thanks for the tip. I’m not going to redesign it all myself. I just don’t have the time to get down and dirty with this code/stylesheets.
I currently use different K2 themes… Actually I don’t mind the forum having another theme… What I do want, is a button in the header of my wordpress site pointing to the forum…. Any idea?
Regards,
Dennis
I am creating a few new bbPress themes and would like to add a couple sidebars to them. Is the PHP include function the best way to do this?
(example: <?php include 'sidebar.php'; ?>)
It’s what I have been using and it works. But I would like to know if there is a bbPress tag out there that does the same thing.
Thanks in advance.
I didn’t think you could put bbPress and WordPress in the same folder.
$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;
$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;
$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;
And http://areamom.com/test/ points to a WordPress installation. So, where’s the bbPress? I did find this:
http://areamom.com/test/bbpress/ which results in this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/areamomc/public_html/test/bbpress/config.php on line 29
That’s right after the mod_rewrite line in the config. Maybe you have an extra single quote there or you forgot the semi-colon in your config? Oh yeah, check this:
$bb->mod_rewrite = false <– no semi-colon.
That means this you should add the semicolon to the mod_rewrite line line and then this line should be changed:
`$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test/bbpress’;
I suggest you move to other hosting providers.
I checked few sites on your hosting server (using http://www.myipneighbors.com/ to find out), they are inserted the same code.
Hope you can get refund!
At the end of your pages, after the closing HTML tag there is an additional script and an iframe.
This code is not in the download tarballs, so it seems the code has been injected on your site only. You should contact your web host for assistance as your service may have been compromised.
I got this [http://slamlander.caselle-vpn.net/?p=21] :
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:InetpubVwebSlamlanderwikiextensionsAuthPress.php:352) in C:InetpubVwebSlamlanderwikiincludesWebResponse.php on line 11
What I did:
On current install on integrated WP and BBP, added a “wiki/” directory and unpacked mediawiki 1.10.1 there, ran the install, and used the same DB. The wiki, at this time works stand-alone. What’s happening here is a version incompatibility issue, methinks, betwixt Authpress and MediaWiki. There are some code structure changes from 1.9.x to 1.10.1 but I don’t know what they were.
I do know one thing, no one has submitted this to the MediaWiki team, why not? I should have been able to download it from there and I could even get help from them, if it were submitted.
Trac is generally very coder oriented. I’m not a coder but I can keep up sometimes. I can apply the patch to the file and then send you the updated files, maybe that will work. Or if you have access to a linux system, patch is the name of an executable that will most likely already be installed.
The best way I know is with a linux system to use the patch command. If you don’t have access to that program, I could patch the file and email it for you. Or you could download a later release where the problem is already fixed. Check my profile for contact information if you need help.
There were other solutions as well in this post:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installing-bbpress?replies=14#post-11787
Did you try anything else?
So I read that another workaround is to overwrite /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php with /bb-includes/db.php . What does that mean exactly and how do I do that? The problem I find with these instructions is that it assumes a lot of knowledge on the part of the user to know coder-speak. I know I could do it but I just don’t know what I need to do.
But other people say that when they apply 745c.diff their problems go away, so perhaps I should just figure out how to apply that patch. But first I need to be able to understand how to do that…any help?
Thank you It’s starting to get full of stars now. It’s been up for a couple of months now.
It’s not in the config that I know of, but you can look at bb-includes/capabilities.php and find 'edit_others_tags' and 'edit_tags' – I think you could edit the capabilities to allow members those two functions. I’m not sure if there’s a plugin that allows the same thing or not. That would be a modification to a core file which is a bad thing in general. You lose that modification if you ever update your bbPress installation.
I would not take my advice to edit capabilities.php and would instead look for a plugin that will allow you to change the capabilities of a member.
Okay, so do I need to apply this whole patch somehow? I clicked on 745c.diff and got a bunch of code I don’t know what to do with, how am I meant to patch this properly?
These are how the 3 lines look before any customization (I took the comments out):
$bb->wp_table_prefix = '';
$bb->wp_home = '';
$bb->wp_siteurl = '';
Yours might look like:
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://jackhammr.org';
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://jackhammr.org';
when you’re done.
I think this line is the problem:
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_;$bb->wp_home';
That should be something like:
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';
and
$bb->wp_home = 'http://jackhammr.org';
Somehow you got part of the 2nd line onto the end of the first line. Fixing that will fix your problem.
